Program Overview
The world of hospitality brings us some of the best things in life — travel, dining, sports, events, cruises, adventure, and more. If you love the idea of building a career in these exciting industries, JWU has you covered.
The hospitality industry continues growing and changing to meet its customers’ interests. And, through our Hospitality Management degree, you don’t have to limit yourself to just one area. Hotels and travel are only a few of the many fields that fall within hospitality. Also included are event planning, restaurant management, sales, business management, culinary arts and more.
You’ll learn about all facets of hospitality through courses in Hospitality Strategic Marketing, Managing Guest Experiences, Dynamics of Tourism, and more.
Round out your degree with arts and sciences courses — with subjects including communications, nutrition, and economics, to name a few. Add some real-life experiences through study abroad programs and internships, and your career options are limited only by your imagination.
